Happy Friday!!!!!!!

Happy Friday! I had like the most rad as firday ever!!!!! I really LOVE today!!! Hope everyone is having a great one!

Home!!!!!!!!!

I'm home to UT now!! It's so good to be back! This week the weather has been great! It's been fun seeing my friends and stuff. But I do really really miss my Lincon Ward beehives and just all of the Lincon Ward. Plus all my mates at Ranui School.
It's been great having the dogs again. We really missed them, today was church. Our first time back in E5!  It was good to see everyone again, a lot of my friends who were not in Beehives before I left are now in it so that's pretty fun. We're getting ready for camp! It'll be my first time!! I finally unpacked my suitcase and organized all my stuff! We had so much stuff. I got to go to school for one day. We came back Thursday night way late. Then woke up and went to school. (yes we were tired) Sadly my  teacher wasn't there we had a sub. So I guess I'll see her on Monday. Good for me it was Friday so we get out early on Friday. At 1:00 or 1:30 I forget on all the other days it's 3:20. It's good to be home!

I made this Contract and had all the girls sing it saying they would visit me at least twice this summer ;)

Car ride - Whoop Whoop!!!!!! :D I really did love the car rides with the girls they always made it so fun.

Routaroua sleep over

Slumber party!

Funny story this pic- So I got this new shirt in Routaroua my dad told me to get a size 12 so I did, when we got home I realized that Natallie the 21 year old got a size 11. So we switched, and I also switched with Mandy to cause she got size 8. So in the end we all got a shirt that fits ;) I love this pic cause Me & Nat are twins! Whenever I wear this shirt I think of her. I miss all the girls!!

Trying to crack the coconut

We spent Easter in Hawaii! We were staying with our friends the Breretons who live right by BYU Hawaii. Now we're at a hotel in Ko Olina. Here's what we did on Easter:

This wasn't on Easter but we went to Ted's Bakery

Sunset beach... no really that's what the beach is called

Last day of Ranui

My last day at Ranui was really a long time ago but it’s better late than never. I’ll miss Kahu 5 and all of Ranui so much. I’m so glad I was able to go and to be in Kahu 5 with Mrs. Tararo and Miss. Welch. Not only will I miss the kids but I’ll miss morning tea, no shoes, culture class, the karakia (prayer), the waita ( song), #1  rule in library no shoes, jump jams, our drinking fountains, the pool, gutter ball, me being a “wet day monitor” and so much more things! Here are just heaps of pictures from Ranui.

The Culture group

It was Thursday so we had Culture.

We did the Haka after to say goodbye.

As you can tell from the pic above kids love peace signs ;D

 

                         Last time doing Miss. Welches' hip hop dance

Kahu whanau

shared lunch

 We had " shared lunch" on our last day it's really just shared lunch. Everyone all brings something to share and we all eat it. It was really fun and yummy

Here are some pics from my last day with the Kahu kids:

Northland trip: 90 mile beach,Treaty of Waitangi Grounds, put your shoulder to the wheel

Put your shoulder to the wheel:

No really put your shoulder to the wheel

Push!

Add more people, now PUSH!!

Building Moat

We went to Northland this past week for 5 days. We stayed at the "lovely" X-base. Luckily this one wasn't as bad as the one in Queenstown but I have to say their parties were still loud. Just not as loud. We were in the town called Paihia. It was right by the beach but while we were there it was usually rainy or cloudy.  We went to 90 mile beach. It's really it's name a 90 mile beach. It's a real legal highway so you just get to drive on the beach as if it was a highway! It's so pretty! You can't like lay out and play on the beach cause it's a highway :D

Digging moat and digging tires out

see how soft the sand is?

dig!! Dig!!

rope pulling van out. (you can't see but everyone is behind pushing)

the aftermath

• So all the girls in my dad's van got out.
•  I was in James' car, he turned around the car and went to  them. .We got out and started helping them. 
•  The sand was almost like mud just really soft. That's why he  .was  getting stuck cause the sand was so soft. We got on all .fours and  ...started digging out the tires.
•  We kept digging and digging.
•  Then we tried to find little bagies or cups to get the water out .from by the wheels.
•  After that we built a moat to drain out the water.  We found pieces of wood to try to wedge under the wheels.
   *These nice guys came and helped us.
  *We got rope and hooked it up to James' van and everyone  ...pushed the back of the van.
  *After trying that a few times we kept digging
  *And then trying again
  *After heaps of pushing, digging, lifting and much more it ..came out!!
  
  It was pretty fun though all of it. The thing was the next morning we were all pretty sore ;D
   
  

  

  Some of us outside of the church

  
  
  
  On Sunday we went to church. Pretty funny the building was right across the street. It was a cute little branch. The building was small as! It was Fast Sunday so a lot of the girls got up and bore their testimony which was really cool. One of the members saw us and after church he told my mom that if we wanted we could come to his family's house and come use their kitchen and cook and just hang out. I'm telling you Maori people are so nice! The two men who helped get the van out were Maori people to. It was funny a car with lots of white guys drove past us and didn't stop but the two Maoris did. ;) Can you imagine? 24 people all in your house that you just met. All these girls sitting on your sofa in your kitchen, all over the place and yet you don't even mind. So so kind and giving! Not all the girls came but they missed out cause we had a blast at the Browns house! The way we had to introduce our selves was we got up on a large wooden table and say what our name was, our age, where we're from and what we like to do. And we had to sing a song. At first we were like What? We weren't sure if he was joking or not. He wasn't. :D My family went first we sang the Cougar Fight song. (song was NOT my idea) It was really fun seeing all the girls do it. I learned things about some of them that I didn't even know! One of their daughters worked at the Treaty of Waitangi grounds and took us for free. It was really nice of her to do that. The treaty grounds were really pretty.         Treaty of Waitangi Grounds:
